I too have ran into pop-ups that don't close. It happened when I exited a sketch had some errors (I.E. open loop). I got the error dialog box, but was flashing. I had to use task manger to exit out of Alibre!

I have been unable to reproduce any pop-ups that won't close. I was mainly testing with Open Loop sketches via your input from above.

I do notice that if I have edited a part, and then click on the work space's "X" to close the work space, the Save Changes dialog appears. If I then click anywhere on the work space other than the Save Changes dialog, then the dialog will flash 5 times then stop flashing. Is this similar to the issue which you reported?

It is a possibility that the issue you are encountering was caused by another open work space on your computer, or something that needed to be "finished" or "closed out" on that work space?

If you have a file that displays the issue, please send it our way so we may take a look at it.

In my case the pop-ups that don't close are, for example, the ones you get when you mouse over feature button in the feature toolbar. Or RC on a design tree item... that little menu that says edit, suppress, etc. Or an error message pop-up. And its random, doesn't happen all the time. For the most part AD behaves. BHowever this is a new issue.

Support link wasn't included in this round. The reason was that we didn't have time to find a solution to correctly route international customers to their reseller. We will consider this in the future.

Strange one here, when Holding the "Shift" key down to select multiple items.

If I use the larger Shift key (on the RH side of my laptops keyboard), the Multiple Selections work perfectly. However if I try the same operation on the same part, but using the Smaller Shift Key (on the LH side of the keyboard),I have to Double Click this key on the first selected feature, for the Multiple Selection to work correctly.

This same behaviour occurs when using AlibreCam 2017, within Alibre 2018

I do not recall experiencing this problem within any of the Alibre 2017 builds, or AlibreCam 2017 within Alibre 2017. But I can assure you it didn't happen in the 2014 versions that I had previously on the same (this) laptop.

The Smaller Shift key works flawlessly when used for typing (as in this post), so I don't think it's a keyboard fault.

UPDATE :- As of May 2018, this no longer happens and the both Shift Keys work as expected (possibly due to a windows update)

Sorry for the delay, the e-mail notification seems to be not working.

The attached file has a screen capture video (showing the error/lock up) and the part file.

Attached Files:

- Opened a drawing created in 2017. The borders had changed to a different layer (i.e. from black solid to orange dot-dashed)
- Blank screen again.
- Lag lag lag. I consider myself an advanced user and generally fly through designs. Now it seems like the software can't keep up.
- Crashes. A few. Seems AD is even more fragile now.
